AMERICAN GODS Trailers, Clips, Featurettes, Images and Poster

The new Starz series "American Gods" premieres tonight at 9p. The show is adapted by Bryan Fuller ("Hannibal") and Michael Green ("Logan") from Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name. The first episode is directed by David Slade ("Hard Candy").

The fantasy series imagines a world in which gods exist, as long as people believe in them. That's why in humanity's modern society, their powers have been decreasing. This has given room for other gods to rise, gods that reflect modern day obsessions, like money, technology, and celebrity. Now, a war is brewing between the Old and New gods.

SYNOPSIS

"When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the center of a world that he struggles to understand. It’s a world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media. Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost. As Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept this new reality, and his place in it."
